Damn
I just ordered a fully loaded QSI 683 wsg with 9 position filter wheel and built in oag.
That ascent with kai 8050 is a very nice unit for the price. Does not have built in oag but given how long I am waiting for this QSI to arrive with no delivery date in Sight I am now considering changing my order.
I have already paid deposit though so not sure if I can change my order with opt.

I would not describe it as 4X but it may be 1.5X or perhap 2X.
I just saw the first image from these newer KAI chips. This one is the KAI8050 chip.
It is one of the most spectacular images I have ever seen:

Also that is the Apogee Ascent which is quite a cheap camera.
A great intro to their new range.
